ACRF Centre for Advanced Cancer Modelling

  • Research Institute: Macquarie University

  • Amount granted: $2 million

  • Year granted: 2023

$2 million awarded to Macquarie University in New South Wales to establish the ACRF Centre for Advanced Cancer Modelling.

ACRF‘s first grant to Macquarie University, will establish the ACRF Centre for Advanced Cancer Modelling. A unique program of research that aims to transform the assessment of the best available treatment for an individual.

With local and international partnerships core to the project, the Centre will bring together clinical, research and bioengineering expertise.

The use of dynamic disease models (patient-derived tissue, cellular and liquid biopsy and animal) will deliver new knowledge on the mechanisms of treatment resistance and could reveal novel therapeutics in a broad range of cancers. This could transform the way cancer patients are managed.
